A week or so ago, an old and distant friend of mine made a list of all the ultras and marathons he had competed in over the years and I was amazed not only at the number of races he had completed, but also that he was able to remember them all! A few days later, another ultra running friend posted that she had done in excess of 90 marathons /ultras over the years - how on earth could they both have done so many? Reading both Jeremy’s and Sandra’s posts got me thinking - how many long distance races have I actually competed in? It planted a seed, and with Andy being away, I have kept myself busy over the past few days looking back on old race results and newspaper clippings, trying to track down what exactly I’ve been up to. It made things easy to some degree having already done a blog post earlier this year about all the marathons I have done, but when adding the ultras, I really couldn’t remember really doing that many - except I have! I started ultra running back in 2007...
